Deputy CLP leader in the Legislative Council Mohammed Ali Shabbir on Thursday demanded that the State Government come out with a clear stand on the Pranahita-Chevella project.
Shabbir Ali said tthe Chief Minister and his family members were trying to mislead the people of Telangana by giving contradictory statements.
He said the Chief Minister gave statements in the House and outside faulting the present design of the project. KCR has been insisting on change of design while advocating construction of barrage at Kaleshwaram instead of Tummidi-Hetti villages in Adilabad district on Telangana-Maharashtra border.
On the other side, KCR's son-in-law and Irrigation Minister T Harish Rao has been justifying non-allocation of funds for the Pranahita-Chevella project.
Adding more confusion, KCR's daughter and Nizamabad MP K Kavitha called on Union Minister Uma Bharathi demanding declaration of the dam, with the present design, as a national project.
Shabbir Ali said KCR family members were trying to mislead about 4.5 crore people of Telangana on Pranahita-Chevella project while finding newer ways of delaying the project.
He said the controversial stand on project design would deter the Centre from declaring it as National Project while the State Government too would get away by not allocating sufficient funds.
